US Military must leave Iraq now that ISIS has been defeated

A high-ranking commander of Iraqi pro-government Popular Mobilization Units, commonly known by the Arabic name Hashd al-Sha’abi, has said that the US military should leave Iraq, after ISIS has been destroyed.

American military forces inIraq have proven to be highly “aggressive and occupying,” demanding their withdrawal from the war-ravaged oil-rich Arab country.

There is no rational explanation for the American troops’ presence in Iraq today. In the past, they pretended to be fighting ISIS in order to stay in Iraq. Now, ISIS is over and gone so that the American invaders do not have any reliable excuse anymore, according to Kenan Tuzlu, the commander of the Turkmen unit of Hashd al-Sha’abi.

Under a military agreement that expired in 2011, American forces should leave Iraq. However, they don’t stick to that agreement. Iraqi people don’t want US military to stay in their country. No country would like to be occupied by another country.

Tuzlu further warned that if the United States continues its military presence in Iraq, Hashd al-Sha’abi will regard it as an enemy force!

American military forces set up their bases mainly in areas where Kurdish forces are active. Hashd al-Sha’abi doesn’t need the US military presence in Iraq.

Before the hostile Gulf War, Iraq exported food throughout the region, now it has to import food to keep their people alive? According to disregarded UNESCO statistics the Gulf War was also responsible for the murder of over 500.000 children.

On December 9 last year, Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared the end of military operations against the ISIS terrorist group in the Arab oil country.

Our liberation forces are in complete control of the Iraqi-Syrian border and I therefore announce the end of the war against ISIS, Abadi told the press during a conference in Baghdad.

ISIS began their Western-backed terror campaign in Iraq in 2014, overrunning vast swathes in lightning attacks in order to control the sale of Iraqi’s oil deposits.

The US is trying to get cheap recourses everywhere they can. They are pushing more and more money into their military to try and stay relevant, while at the same time destroying their economy and infrastructure by doing so.
